There was some discussion of this in the previous patch round before the code was changed - it does end up adding an externally visible error code but it doesn't really make any difference, especially if we don't propagate it externally. We've already got some other codes in a similar style, though I can't remember the examples that were quoted offhand. Adding the new code avoids confusion about exactly what the intent of the driver is. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
